So after playing to capacity crowds of 80,000 for the last two nights, the rapper kicked back at an elegant stately home in Berkshire – complete with its own polo club and croquet lawns.

Our perfectly placed source confirms: “Eminem made it clear he had no intention of hitting London’s nightclubs and staying in a trendy hotel.

“The swankiest bars were practically throwing themselves at him for the chance to host an after-party for him.

“More than a dozen, all insisting money was no object with promises of the wildest party he and his crew had ever experienced – champagne, women, the works.

"They were shocked when he said he just wanted to get out into the countryside for a touch of old England.”

The star, who has battled booze and drugs, enjoyed a low-key stay at posh Coworth Park, an 18th century pile on the edge of Windsor Great Park that has hosted royalty and gives Downton Abbey a run for its money.

We can’t imagine what regular guests would have made of the baseball-capped star – whose rap sheet includes firearms offences – strolling its wood-panelled corridors flanked by his crew.

Presumably his “hype man” was asked to keep his hyping to a minimum.

Eminem’s suite had a four-poster bed and a balcony with views of the polo fields and woodland, where he could unwind from his 36-song set.

Fans roared when surprise guest Dr Dre joined him on stage for a four-song medley including Forgot About Dre.

Arriving on stage to a frenzy of excitement, the star told the packed stadium: “Hold on, let me take a minute to look at this goddamn crowd, holy sh*t! This is why I love London. Y’all so angry!”
